Like others have mentioned, you really didn't do yourself a favor by presenting an inconsistent story about your ex-boyfriend, ex-fiance, now friend, a married friend, etc etc .. it just sounds so complicated and likely the real reason you were denied a tourist visa, not once but twice. A failed attempt at the K-1 visa really didn't help either.

I would suggest to hold off on your plans to visit the US anytime soon and refrain from applying for a US visa for awhile.

Not sure if you are aware of this but Malaysia is "on track" to be included in the VWP, or the Visa Waiver Program. The latest news is that it will be implemented within the next 2 years.

I don't have communication anymore from my ex-fiance. The friend that i am talking about he is the one offered me to stay in his guest house which he has an airbnb in NYC. He is in Asia now. I am not Malaysian so definitely i am not in VWP. The first consul noted that my friend i am going to visit is my bf which i didn't told that that's why this interview went to denial. Anyway, Asia still the best to live on than USA. My purpose to go in USA is just for my vacation and i don't have any one from there.

Seems lot of harsh comments. here is no limit to the number of times you can apply.

Hehe it is fine. Thanks. It was my fault not to answered correct the first consul. I was really shocked when he asked my x bf that i wanted to erased in my whole life. After him and within 8 years i had other relationship, even ppl will not believed it, sometimes there are things that we had forgotten and it just come out in an unexpected day, that was happened to me. I am applying a US tourist visa, i really don't knew that it will be asked about my former fiancee visa that i didn't processed. I just applied tourist visa without reading articles about it. Thanks for all the advises here.

Thats unfair.

During my first interview i really dont want to lied but i really was not sure that it was a valid application thats why i answered no. And why they wouldnt think that i didnt took the advantage of having that fiancee visa if i really wanted or desperatex to go in USA. I did not processed the application after i was notified.

I could even continued the application even we had misunderstanding right but i didn't.

And now its been a long years after i applied a tourist visa.

Anyway, tnx for all the advice, maybe i should get married first before i can visit USA.

Thanks.

I am not saying i will apply again soonest this time.

Everyone wants to visit US.

Why the first consul noted that i am going to visit my bf? Becoz this was asked to me. I never told in my DS 160 form or even during my interview. So consul will always think in that way without asking?

My friend is not my bf. He has a gf in Philippines.He just offered me to stay in his guest house since he has an airbnb in NYC.

My ex bf or former fiance was married now. I dont have bf.

Correction to my explanation:

MR. xxx WAS MY EX FIANCE WHEN HE APPLIED FOR THE K1-VISA. OUR RELATIONSHIP FELL APART BEFORE THE I-129F PETITION WAS APPROVED AND I DID NOT FOLLOW-UP FOR AN APPLICATION FOR THE K1-VISA. I ASSUMED THAT IT DID NOT COUNT AS A VALID APPLICATION.

I applied again for US tourist visa in Malaysia and my interview is today but i was denied again. This time the consul is a woman. May i apply again for the third time?

Questions are:-

1. How long ive been in Malaysia?

My answer: 3 yrs now.

2. What do you do?

I am working as a Sr. Document Controller at xxx company.

3. Have you applied a visa before?

Yes but i was denied.

4. Why?

And i told her this explanation while she's reading my DS 160.

The questioned on my first application was that if anyone has applied a US visa for me before? I answered No because i was not sure if it was valid application since i did not pursued to apply for the visa.

My explanation:

DURING MY INTERVIEW FOR THE US TOURIST VISA APPLICATION LAST 27TH OF APRIL 2016, I WAS ASKED BY THE CONSUL IF SOMEONE HAS APPLIED A US VISA FOR ME BEFORE TO WHICH I ANSWERED NO. I APOLOGIZED AND ADMIT THAT I MADE A MISTAKE. IT WAS A SLIP OF MY MEMORY. IT NEVER OCCURRED TO ME ABOUT THE FIANCEE VISA (K-1 VISA) & WHICH WAS APPLIED BY MY EX BOYFRIEND MR. RICHARD LIN. IT WAS A LONG TIME AGO AND OUR RELATIONSHIP DIDN'T WORK OUT. I WAS NOT AWARE THAT IT WAS AN ACTUAL APPLICATION BECAUSE I TOOK NO ACTION TO APPLY FOR THE VISA AFTER I WAS NOTIFIED BY THE EMBASSY. I DIDN'T​ CALL OR​ FILE ANY DOCUMENTS NOR PRESENT MYSELF TO THE US EMBASSY IN THE PHILIPPINES. DURING THE I-129F PETITION PROCESS, WE HAD A MISUNDERSTANDING, BROKE UP AND LOST COMMUNICATION WITH EACH OTHER. WHEN THE CONSUL BROUGHT UP THE NAME OF MY ​EX FIANCE, I WAS A BIT SHOCKED TO BE REMINDED OF A PAINFULLY, FAILED PAST RELATIONSHIP, WHICH I THOUGHT I HAD PUT BEHIND ME AND FORGOTTEN.​

MR. Xxx WAS MY BOYFRIEND WHEN HE APPLIED FOR ME THE FIANCEE VISA BUT I DID NOT CONFORM AND I DID NOT PURSUE WITH THE APPLICATION THUS I PRESUMED IT WAS AN INVALID APPLICATION

5. Then she asked me when your ex bf dated you?

I answered i think last 2007 2008.

(This year i gave i've confirmed only that it was 2008 when my ex bf applied the petition after i was interviewed on my first application thats why i answered the consul the exact year.)

6. Last April you have told that you are going to visit your boyfriend?

I answered i dont have bf now. ( i think the first consul noted that my friend where i am going to stay thought that he is my bf, i dont have a chance to explain that this friend is engaged. The first consul questioned before was:-

Who is your friend?

He is Michael.

How did you meet him?

I met him in Malaysia by a friend.

7. Then the woman consul told me that i am denied that she dont believe that i will return back after my trip. And she don't believe that i could forget my fiancee visa before.

I was trying to explain but she stopped me. I want to explain that my friend is not my bf and i never told to first consul.

( i answered wrong the questioned before from the first consul because i was not sure that it was a valid application since i did not filed any documents after i was notified by the US embassy in Philippines.)

Is it really hard to apply a US tourist visa if the applicant is single?

Since i am denied twice. No chance now for me to apply again? And if i have a chance again, what should be my explanation on my third application?

1. My friend is not my bf. I will just stay only on his guest house ( He has airbnb in NYC).

2. Consul dont believed my explanation to my former fiancee visa.

Hope you could give me a good advice. Thanks

To IcezMan_IcezLady,

Why you are thinking that my friend is my boyfriend? He has a pregnant girlfriend in Philippines okay. Why i should wanting him to be my bf if he is committed and has a child to support? So how if my friend is a gay? The consul will think that he is my boyfriend too? If i was desperate to go in US, i might took that advantage and marry my ex-bf even we had misunderstanding. But i am not like that. I am hoping consul are smart to knew that.

For me marriage is holy, i was just realized that my ex-bf was not the right man i was looking for. During my application, i innocently asking him how to process the fiancee visa but his time was consumed by playing online games. He was 33 yrs old that time. I was thought also hows my life could be in US with him? So that was the one reason why i didn't processed the visa. But of course i will tell the truth with the consul if i will apply again. I might was not good enough to response to the question on my first interview because in myself i was not sure if it was valid visa.

The consul just confirmed that he applied.

Hi Everyone,

The reason why i am here because i need an advice how to answer the consul in a good way to believe me even once again. I did a mistake to answer the consul and i admitted that. I was not really sure if i will answer him yes because that fiancee visa i didn't processed anything nor to present myself in US embassy in Philippines. I really don't know how to answer him because again i was trying to remember if that was a valid application, i didn't submit anything.

And i really had no idea that time how to process the visa and during the application we had misunderstanding and we broke up and we lost communication. That was my past life that i need to forget and i don't want to remembered. I just want to forget it and let him go. I never expected that consul will asked about him during my interview. It was hard for me to explain. But now he is a happily married man okay. I hope you can relate to me that he was my ex bf that we ended up in a sad love story.

My friend is were just a good friend. He has a pregnant gf in Philippines. I just want to spend my special day in NYC and return back in Malaysia after my vacation and early bird is better. Again, yeah i did a mistake again in my life.

What i mean it never occurred in my mind about the fiancee visa when im applying tourist visa. It was just reminded me when the consul asked me and i couldnt explain everything to him coz i was trying to remember if it was a valid application or not before i say yes to him. I was blacked out and even when he asked me first who is Richard? I answered him back Richard? I dont know i didnt expected really to asked about him.

Hi Harpa,

No, i didnt do anything or send documents to US embassy in Philippines. After i received the letter from Embassy. I am trying to remember now coz i needed to. Me and my bf had argument already that time and everytime i asked him he would play games until i gave up and didnt processed it.

I am not sure how you forgot... you would have to have written a letter of intent to marry and done some paperwork for the petition. Something like that and plans to move to the US would certainly be memorable, no?

I kept answer no becoz i was not sure if its a valid application. I didnt get what the consul said. How could i know it is a valid visa? I really had no idea. And it was a long years for me to reminisce everything.

Hi Penguin,

Its okay. I cannot edit my story either.

Hi Cristina,

Thank you guys for helping me this out.

In my first application in DS-160 i say No to the question that someone applied for me a visa. I am only one who filled up theT form. I really forgot and i had no idea that previous fiancee visa was actually filed and plus i didnt pursued the application becoz we had misunderstanding before. I am young that time when my x bf applied it. I really had no idea how to apply the visa even my x bf didnt taught me how. Everytime i was asking him how to process the visa he was always in computer games online. He was 33 yrs old and i was 28. We had argument until i didnt pursued the fiancee visa. And then he got married aftern then and we had no communications for 8yrs. My life goes on,i had bf's too and until i work abroad. My tourist visa is just purely on vacation thats why i applied in Malaysia. I want to buy ticket before Nov so i can buy cheap one.

It never occurred on my mind about the fiancee visa. It was like i am trying to remember everything before i will say Yes. But in the end the consul told me that my x bf did the fiancee visa.

Hi,

You can apply again. However, you are unlikely to get a tourist visa. The CO gave you a second chance and you still said no. This is on your record. A new application does not erase your answer. When someone provides you with evidence and a second chance and you don't answer truthfully, you have destroyed your credibility. There is no way to recover from this. Sorry.

Hi aaron,

Becoz i was not sure if it was a valid application, i didnt pursued it so i kept NO. And i really forgot everything. I just told the consul that i thought it was expired or cancelled by my x bf. For me i presumed it was not counted a valid application.

What i mean i dont need to wait for a few months before to apply again a tourist visa? I have complete documents if ever they will ask me about jobs, savings and family, i was just failed for that question. I am planning to apply again on 8th May 2016, so that is fine? I have a ready reply about it, i am just worry only if i will rejected again. I want to visit NYC on Nov to celebrate my bday and to visit a friend.

If he applied for you, you simply speak the truth.

Just tell the consul it was a long time ago and the relationship did not work. No need to explain in details, as they do not need to know your life story.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. So i can reapply immediately even i had a passed valid expired fiancee visa? Is it possible they will grant me a tourist visa?

My B2 visa application denied because of my previous fiancee visa question i mistakenly answered incorrect because i forgotten already.

Call me Khandy my nickname. I am working in Malaysia and i tried to apply aUS tourist visa but i was denied. My interview was yesterday only dated 27th April 2016. I was not late but many applicants on ques that day. I was confidently i can answer all the questions. And yes, i answered everything except for the last question

The questions are:

Where are you going to US? I answered accordingly
What will you do at US? I answered accordingly
Who you are going to meet? I am going to meet my friend
How did you meet your friend? I met him in Malaysia

I answered all with confidently and i smiled.

Okay good. Last question.

Who is Richard? I was shocked like i had slip of memory and questioned myself who is Richard? lol then in myself i remembered he was my ex-bf Chinese American who was applied a K! visa for me but i did not pursued the application. He visited me in Philippines that i forgotten already for 8 years. And now it was like a ghost coming back in my mind. We had no communications after we had broke up since that time he was going to marry someone else after our relationship.

Consul asked me if someone applied a US visa for me and i plainly answered it NO. But he asked me again and then i just told him Oh i thought that was expired or cancelled because that was Richard had told me before. Then the consul said "yeah, i am asking if he applied a visa for you? I don't know what to say, i can't explained everything to him. I was trying to remember him just to answer the question. And the consul told me "Okay, i will give you a second chance, Is he applied a visa for you? I was ###### up answered him NO still. and then finally he told me I am sorry your application is denied. I replied "Oh". I felt sad taking my passport and i even hardly took my passport in the window because of my wrong answer. Then i say Thank you to the consul and went out in that window. Sigh...i messed up. I was thought i can get that visa.

Now, i want to re-apply again this coming month of May. Please i hope you will help me about my case. That K1 visa that was applied from my ex-bf in US embassy, i did not pursued after i received the letter from US embassy in Philippines. We had misunderstanding and we broke up.
